On Feb 7, 2020, Daszak sent an email to Colwell with a list of people they want to approach to sign the statement, including Osterhaus, Koopmans and Haagmans. Haagmans signed it. Koopmans will not.
The question remains; why not?

"Koopmans liked it all. Whether it was China’s repeated delay of the mission, the lack of raw data, China’s veto over the composition of the team Marion Koopmans did not speak a single word of criticism"

"Stealth biological weapons that attack the core of your being, that do not show up in diagnostic tests nor show any abnormal blood work that doctors use to diagnose, & without the level of inflammation that doctors can see in scans"
1. Heinz Felfe was head of the Soviet counter-intelligence Department & ran a long running project called "Panoptikum" to uncover a high level "mole" within the West German Intelligence Service...
In the end, the target of "Panoptikum" would turn out to be Heinz Felfe himself!
2. His Memoirs (in German)
Heinz Felfe published his memoir in 1986 under the title "In the Service of the enemy: Ten years as Moscow's man in the Federal Intelligence Service"
"During initial stages of a forensic investigation of Wuhan Labs, all 4 evaluation tools including Grunow & Finke's epidemiological assessment criteria would be useful adjuncts to the investigation framework of Pilch et al."
"The Radosavljevic–Belojevic method for outbreak scoring & differentiation shows that official assumptions of its natural origin is questionable & highlights the probability that the pathogen was "accidentally" introduced to humans"
